Forecast Class Page for the PF=1 (a*CPI+b*SPI) Method of the New Class Wizard

Use the options and fields on this page when selecting the PF=1/(a*CPI+b*SPI) method.

Contents

Field	Description
Forecast method	Select the PF=1/(a*CPI+b*SPI) method.
Forecast Dates	Specify whether the forecast spread will be based on early, late, or default forecast dates. The early and late dates are used for best- and worst-case forecast scenarios.
Performance factor level	This field controls the level at which Cobra calculates the CPI and SPI. Levels 1-20 The levels represent the hierarchical structure of a code file. Selecting a level instructs Cobra to perform forecast calculation at that level for the selected code file. Project Control Account Work Package
Code File	This field displays if you select any of the levels from 1 to 20 in the Performance factor level field. Use this field to select a code file to calculate forecasts against.
Define Relative Weighing	Enter the values for the a and b parameters in the PF=1/(a*CPI+b*SPI) method. By specifying the a and b factors, you can define a performance factor that reflects the cumulative CPI/SPI, where the relative weights of CPI and SPI are user defined. The combined relative weights of both fields must be equal to 1.
